Nikola Jokić of the @nuggets is the second NBA player in the last 10 seasons to hit a game-tying basket and a game-winning buzzer-beater in the final 30 seconds of a game.
The other was LeBron James in OT against the Timberwolves on February 7, 2018. pic.twitter.com/9EGfjHObb4
I don't know why people keep saying the west is "wide open". Ain't no way the Nuggets aren't going to take it. And even if they don't in the regular season they will in the postseason. And Im the biggest OKC homer there is in this thread. [Reply]

That looked to me like it should have been a bench win for the warriors. Saric and podziemski carried that second half so curry didn't have to do everything. Warriors look cooked [Reply]

And the Lakers clearly aren't winning the championship this year either with that flawed/incomplete roster, but that's why getting #5 earlier this month was so essential.
You are delusional if you think that in season bullshit counts as a ring. [Reply]

No Kuminga when he was red hot and Looney getting all of those minutes when he clearly was not ready to go. Kerr looks to be finished. [Reply]

White American kids named Skylar should be watching how he plays. Proof you dont need to be a great athlete to succeed. Same with Luka. Luka a much better athlete than Jokic bur certai and not a plus one. Become skilled. Dont try to be Ja Morant, Lebron, Kobe or Jordan. [Reply]
The NBA has reinstated Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green after 12-game suspension, sources tell @TheAthletic@Stadium. Green has been undergoing counseling for several weeks along with holding progress meetings with the league and Warriors. pic.twitter.com/Bfedm89nBc
KAT scores 62 or whatever but Minnesota loses to the...Hornets? Man their coach was pissed. They apparently gave up on defensive to just watch KAT try to score as much as possible.
